262 for the win! Reigning king for 30 (?) years until the 400 came out.
I absolutely loved my 562, and it was very strong especially after MM and TA but it sounds like a lot of people didn’t have as good of luck as I did.

We have not previously seen this little guy. A couple of does also showed up last night.
Although he is not a shooter, and MZ season is still open, it is good to see something that should be good for next year.
Don't know what happened to many of the large bucks we saw in September, but we have only seen a few of them since then.

Exactly my take too. My 562 was a few ounces lighter then the 400. I still had a 5 bolt case though.
Is he not a shooter to you personally or because of antler restrictions? I probably missed that in previous posts
Noctournal, holed up due to hunter pressure, and/or found a girlfriend somewhere else.

Wish I had a good Husky dealer near me. There's only TSC and Lowes around where I live. Never even seen a 562 in person, much less handled or cut with onw

You should just get a 400 so you don't have to keep changing ur

Kevin builds some nice saws ... of both flavors! Don't personally own any but have run them at GTGs and if I needed another saw would not hesitate to get one from him.
Why??
He does.
I have a 365 (non special for those wondering lol), it will outrun all my other "60" cc saws, it's a bit heavier though, so I can't fill it up all the way lol.
I've also owned/ ran others he's built that were very strong. The last one I ran was Dall's 500i with a 20" square ground chain, wasn't really fair to the wood
.Nice summarization of the 60s last page. Now husky has a new 562mk2, it's a bit lighter, but I don't know the specs, sounds like a nice saw though. I may need to sell my late product mmws562 and check it out, but probably not, heck I still haven't ran a 400 yet.
@ cuttinhusqy reach out to @spike60 Bob of Ashokan Turf and Timber. He isnt active much on the forums anymore but is a great guy and has very good prices.

Looks like spike60 is closed. "After a great 30 year run, we will be retiring and closing the store at the end of 2022. We'd like to thank all of the people who have supported us for the past 30 years, and wish you all the best."
Just got a concerning call from my daughter's principal. Guess she got into a tufft with another kid at recess. Ended in her kicking the kid in the balls. (Which doesn't surprise me at all.) Two other students accused her of grabbing in inappropriate places and saying some things that basically made me speechless. A fouth student, said my daughter didn't say or do anything other then kicking the first kid. I've been a bit afraid of something like this happening, some of the stories she's told us after school, and more then a few times she's come home in tears from stuff other kids have done and said to her. The school doesn't seem to care, I've spoken with several different people and it's always, "well we haven't heard or seen any of these things happen." Bs. I know how my daughter is, I know what she will and won't do, and for her to hit another kid she had to be pushed pretty far. I spoke with my wife a bit about it on my way how from work, and she's pretty angry about the situation. Guess she's going to call the school tomorrow after we talk with my daughter. I'm all for kids getting in trouble if they did something wrong, and facing the consequences of their actions, but something more then the normal stuff is up.
Bob is a good guy for sure. Miss not having any local GTGs anymore (he even used to have one). Always enjoyed talking with him.
Bob was big on doing modifications short of porting, similar to what I did with my 044.
